AMCP Pharmacy Pay-for-Performance Principles

Health care services provided by pharmacists are a vital part of comprehensive patient care. AMCP supports the use of payment arrangements for pharmacists that include performance-based metrics related to these health care services, on which some of the pharmacist’s reimbursement is based. At the direction of its Board of Directors, the AMCP Public Policy and Professional Practice committees developed the following principles for pay-for-performance to promote the use of these arrangements that lead to improved patient outcomes.
